Thermodynamics

In many questions, if constant external pressure was mentioned we took it as Irreversible process, but in this question they have mentioned const ext p + rev. So what's the drawback?

hey, basics are that rev, irrev etc are different paths here, since process happens against const external pressure - it is irrev also, dS = q rev /T irrespective of the process being a rev or irrev one since dS is a state function (just like dU and dH) check my videos out on thermo if you have a doubt in the theory, they are soid

sir so const ext pressure doesn't only mean irr, it might also mean rev, though when one needs to find state func, rev/irr doesn't matter and if path func is being calc so we take as irr ?

const ext pressure means irrev :) But that would mean compression NOT expansion so think about this question specifically, what info is relevant

i dont get it though why is dS being found? q is not asking for it https://tardigrade.in/question/five-moles-of-an-ideal-gas-at-293k-is-expanded-isothermally-p6h624pt

ah ok i didnt see this one :D about state function, when you find dS system, formula is q rev /T dude post one q on one thread gets confusing otherwise xD https://www.sarthaks.com/3496981/one-mole-of-an-ideal-gas-at-350k-is-in-a-2-0-l-vessel-of-thermally-conducting-walls this process is reversible the black bg one is irrev since it is rev, dS sys + dS surr = 0 so dS surr = -3.37 again, for theory watch sessions

Thank you sir! +solved @iTeachChem
